If it turns out to be a Russian missile, then I expect expedited weapons shipment as bare minimum. Ukraine needs long-range missiles to hit back and take out Russian military sites and critical infrastructure, tit for tat. The current situa

If the response will be this pathetic, then you can rest assured that the next batch of missiles will "accidentally" land on the Polish airport that serves as a hub for military aid to Ukraine.

> The Soviets brokered a deal with us. We agreed NATO would not expand eastwards. This is simply not true. It is a talking point developed for Putin's speech at 2007 Munich security conference to justify the shift to genocidal war

The German Greens have historically been very openly hostile towards the US and NATO. To call them Washington proxies is just plain stupid.

I don't understand why you're still pursuing this argument when Kremlin has dropped the NATO pretext quite a long time ago. According to Putin[1], now it's a special operation to liberate Donbas from their Ukro-Nazi overlords

Accusations of the USA and NATO destabilizing Russia are not grounded in facts. Quite the opposite: even before the USSR collapsed, its territorial integrity was among main concerns in the West, driven by the fear of nukes going into wrong
